[Norville is sleeping at his desk]

Say, Buddy... Ya busy?

[wakes up]

Huh-whuh?

Looks like ya nodded off there! Say, buddy, ya got a minute?

Buzz... Is it important?

I like to think so! It's this little idea I been working on. Ya see, I don't intend to be an elevator boy forever. Take a look at this sweet baby! [shows Norville a drawing of a circle] Ya get it, buddy? Incredibly convenient, isn't it? You know, for drinks. [shows Norville a straw] This is how it works, it's these little ridges on the side that give it its whammy! See, ya don't have to drink like this nomore; now you can drink like this. [bends staw] I call it the Buzz-Sucker, get it, buddy? After me! Why, people are just dyin' for a product like this, and the great thing is we won't have to charge an arm and a --

Wait a minute! [He looks at it like when Mussburger first looked at his own invention] This is worthless.

Huh?! But, buddy --

This is the most idiotic thing I've ever seen in my life!

Yeah, but, buddy --

Nobody wants a hare-brained product like this! Ya see, Buzz, it lacks the creative spark, the unalloyed genius that made, say, the hula hoop such a success.

But, buddy --

What do you mean barging in here and taking up my valuable time! I've got a company to run here!

[laughs]

But, buddy, you were --

I can't have every deadbeat on the Hudsucker payroll pestering me with their idiotic brainwaves!

Geez, buddy, I'm sorry.

An example must be made!

Wuddya mean, buddy?

You're fired! Is that plain enough for you, buster!

[Buzz begins to bawl and grabs Norville's legs]

Awwww, buddy --

And don't call me buddy! Out of here!

Aw, please, sir! This job, just running the elevator, it's all I got! I understand if ya don't like the Buzz-Sucker! Just, please, let me keep my job! I'm prayin' to ya!

Get out of my office! Get out! [Buzz crawls away crying] Up! Up on your feet! We don't crawl at Hudsucker Industries! Get out! And leave your uniform in the locker room!

I'm sorry, sir... I'm sorry...
